Event Summary

The O’Brien County Conservation Board will be hosting their Annual Eagle Watch on Saturday, March 2, 2013 from 9 A.M. to 4 P.M. 

This year the Little Sioux Valley Conservation Association is excited to announce that Ty Smedes, author and photographer, will be joining this great event. 

Join Ty Smedes for one or both of his slide presentations, the first at 11:30 A.M. and a second presentation at 2:00 P.M.  He will reveal many incredibly interesting discoveries about the Bald Eagle and how they go about their everyday lives here in Iowa!  See eagles eating fish while on the wing, photos which illustrate the age of younger eagles, an eagle nest diary, eagles flying with icicles on their toes, eagles diving, catching fish, and much more.  Learn how researchers track bald eagle movements, where eagles come from that winter in Iowa.  And listen to stories of confrontations between bald eagles and other species.  This presentation will reveal many highlights of Ty’s Book “The Return of Iowa’s Bald Eagles”, which he will be signing and offering for sale.  He will also have copies of Ty’s Book “Capturing Iowa’s Seasons”, which he will also be signing and offering for sale.

Ty’s photos have been published by many major magazines and book publishers. Specializing in landscapes, wildlife, and prairie wildflowers, he also loves to photograph and market photos of Iowa people and cultural events. He markets his photography and writings both locally and nationally to magazines and books, and sells matted prints as well as slides and digital images for publication. Ty has taught nature photography classes and is as an experienced Photo-Tour leader, having led nature photography tours to Yellowstone &Teton parks, as well as the Eastern Sierras, during the fall season.  He was also co-leader of a nature photography tour to Brasil in 1996 and has led nature photography tours to East Africa in 2005, 2008, and 2010, as well as Botswana in 2006.
